I never turn down scripts without good reason. If I did, I would probably never work.

I never have reservations about doing anything as long as I'm being paid.

I do remember reading the script of 'The Nightmare Fair' and looking forward to doing it.

If you turn down work because you are frightened of getting typecast, you'll never do anything good.

It's not so much a thankless task, it's more a job with no thanks

As any actor will tell you, the hardest thing to do is small parts, because you focus all your attention and concentration on that small part. When you're playing the lead part, you don't have time to think about the whole of it, so you just have to steam on and get on with it.

I could, I think, quite easily have gone to Oxford. I got four good A levels, but my father's income was such that I wouldn't have got a grant, and he wouldn't let me go to university, and that was the end of it.
